Gastrointestinal Microbial Ecology and Functionality

In the past decades, the research on the gastrointestinal microbiology has been the most active research area, because the gastrointestinal microbes are related not only to the nutritional importance but also to the environmental and public health impacts. This collection of papers review the literature related to the latest advances in antimicrobial usage and resistance in beef production, rumen microbiome associated with methane emissions and its mitigation, gut mucosal immune system, rumen microbial function in degradation of toxic feed composition, microbiota-host interaction at the gut epithelial level, health and nutrition, and prospective strategies to modulate rumen microbes and fermentation.

Aims and scope

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology (JASB) is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that encompasses all aspects of animal science and biotechnology, including animal genetics and breeding, animal reproduction and physiology, animal nutrition and biochemistry, feed processing and testing, and animal biotechnology. JASB welcomes Research, Reviews, Letters to the Editor, Meeting Report, Methodology Articles, Short reports and Study Protocol. The journal is sponsored by Chinese Association of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine. It is designed to introduce Chinese research achievements in animal science and technology to the international community, and to strengthen academic communication between China and abroad.
